Chapter 164 [Daily Chat, Small Talk is All Big Things]

The snow has cleared, but it is still cold, and in the royal warm pavilion of the Fanyang Trading Center, Li Shimin is half lying on the chair leisurely.

The emperor picked up a cup of tea, took a sip of tea, and then exhaled a breath of heat, feeling comfortable all over his body.

Beside the emperor, the eldest grandson queen was holding a booklet and settling accounts, and next to the queen sat two concubines with shining eyes, constantly fluctuating and calculating to help the queen help.

The three concubines' faces were full of joy, and the more they counted, the happier they became, and they chattered and whispered from time to time, and their tones couldn't help but be full of excitement.

"Whew!"

Li Shimin looked disdainful and smiled, half lying on the chair looking at the three women, very dissatisfied: "Count yesterday, count today, count every day, a businessman smells copper, where do you still look like a woman?" Guanyin, can you stop for a while, my teapot has been empty for a long time. ”

After the emperor said this, he found that the three women did not care about him in the slightest, and the emperor snorted helplessly, and got up and went to the stove to get water.

He fetched water back, passed by the three women, suddenly stretched his head over, stared at the account book with a sparkling eye, and asked, "Tell me quickly, how much did we earn yesterday?" ”

The tone was distinctly eager.

Poof!

The three women laughed in unison.

Empress Eldest Sun glanced at him and quipped, "Your Majesty just reprimanded us for being covered in copper stench!" ”

"Yes, yes!"

Concubine Yang next to her chuckled, also flattered the emperor, suddenly covered the account book, and said with a smile: "I won't show it to you." ”

This is a little woman coquettish, Li Shimin's heart fluttered.

The emperor pretended to laugh, and pretended not to care with a face full of words: "If you don't look at it, you won't look at it, it won't exceed five hundred yuan left and right, I send someone to stare at the attic wooden card every day, and you can know yesterday's income by just counting it......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and said proudly: "Yesterday's current price of palace brocade, one hundred and seven per horse, deducting material labor, the profit should be fifty guan, you sold eleven palace brocade yesterday, the income should be five hundred and fifty guan, and the stinky boy should draw one fifty each time, so you should have four hundred and ninety-five guan in your hands, is what I said right, three little women who are full of copper smell?" ”

Li Shimin was very proud.

The three women laughed and joked, each joking: "Your Majesty also said that we are covered in copper stench, and you yourself care more about this money than anyone else." ”

Li Shimin said twice, and said unabashedly: "This is the income of the private treasury, every one belongs to his own family, and the money comes every day, more than 500 yuan a day, how can I not pay attention, I must pay attention." ”

The three imperial concubines laughed coquettishly.

Concubine Shu suddenly let go of the account book, and said with some regret: "I hate that King Zhao's commission is too high, and he has to draw one out of fifty every time, if he can meet this fee, our royal private treasury will earn more ......."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looked at Li Shimin cautiously, and hesitated tentatively: "Your Majesty, why don't you talk to King Zhao and let him be exempted from the royal commission?" ”

"Don't even think about it!"

Before Li Shimin could speak, Empress Eldest Sun had already refused, but seeing that the queen glared at Concubine Shu, she scolded with a scolding tone: "You only see that King Zhao makes money easily, but do you know how much King Zhao spends money?" ”

Concubine Shu is the four main concubines, and the mother family is the top wealthy family in the Tang Dynasty, although she does not dare to have a hard top with the queen, but she is not a promise, and she retorted softly when she heard the words: "No matter how much he spends money, it is always a trickle, but he earns money like a robbery, and the money he earns in the past half a month is scared to death......"

As he spoke, he looked at Li Shimin, and said obediently: "For example, the secret recipe of the salt industry, His Majesty personally helped him sell it, and twenty copies of the secret recipe were sold for a full twenty-five million yuan, which is almost equal to the total tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty treasury for ten years, but as a result, King Zhao didn't say a word, and more than 25 million yuan were all stuffed into his own pocket." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly saw Li Shimin glaring angrily, and scolded her: "Who told you that King Zhao is all stuffed into his pocket?" ”

Concubine Shu was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said, "Isn't it?" ”

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

Next to her, the eldest grandson queen pulled Concubine Shu and said in a low voice: "Sister, you don't know, Your Majesty has a share of this money, not only has a share of profits, but also has a big head." ”

Saying that, he glanced at Li Shimin, and found that the emperor had no intention of stopping her from going on, and the eldest grandson said to Concubine Shu: "Previously, King Zhao made refined salt in Chang'an, which was originally his own ability, but he was a white body at that time, and he had to borrow many ways, this little guy was very smart, and directly gave ninety percent of the salt industry to the Cheng family, and the Cheng family was just a performance, and the real purpose was to give it to the royal family." ”

Concubine Shu suddenly realized, Concubine Yang next to her was also overjoyed, the two concubines glanced at each other, each of them couldn't hold back the curiosity in their hearts, and asked anxiously: "How many shares does our royal family occupy." ”

Empress Eldest Sun spoke slowly and said softly: "Eighty! ”

Wow!

Concubine Shu and Concubine Yang gasped for breath.

The secret recipe was sold for 25 million guan, and the royal family accounted for eighty percent, so wouldn't it mean that it was directly divided into 20 million guan, it turned out that King Zhao was so generous.

At this time, Li Shimin slowly opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Although this money is a lot, but there are many places where Datang needs to use money, I argued with King Zhao many times, but he was forced to spend all 20 million yuan, so don't be excited, our royal family still has no money." ”

These words made the two concubines stunned.

Twenty million yuan spent?

Or did King Zhao force His Majesty to spend it?

What can cost so much money in the world?

Empress Changsun explained: "Although 20 million guan is a lot, it can't hold back King Zhao's big hand, for example, the establishment of the royal salt industry, you have to hire people to open mines in various places, and the seaside salt drying also requires a large amount of money, you have to hire tens of thousands of people to open up more than a dozen large salt farms, only these two expenditures are as high as 5 million guan......"

Concubine Shu and Concubine Yang kept babbling.

Empress Changsun said again: "There is also a disaster relief in Hebei Province, King Zhao is also going to two million guan, and there is also a drought in Shandong this year, and King Zhao forced His Majesty to allocate three million, which adds up to another five million." ”

Concubine Shu was immediately dissatisfied, and couldn't help but say: "King Zhao sold the secret recipe of coal for 1.2 million guan, and the family has already converted all the grain to him, why does he still want His Majesty to contribute 2 million guan, this Hebei Province is his fiefdom......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly didn't say anything, because he found that Li Shimin's face was full of anger, and Concubine Shu herself knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she bowed her head and said: "The concubine feels distressed about spending money, this kind of flower method is too scary." ”

Li Shimin snorted lightly.

Empress Changsun wanted to take care of the harmony of the harem, for fear that the emperor would reprimand Concubine Shu, so she hurriedly interrupted: "There are still 10 million yuan, King Zhao forced His Majesty to seal it, and the money will be slowly exchanged with the family, and finally all of it will be exchanged for gold to suppress the treasury." ”

Concubine Shu didn't understand this matter, but Concubine Yang was born as a princess of the Great Sui, and she couldn't help but nod when she heard this: "This is the gold to protect the country and the wealth left to future generations, although King Zhao is young, he can't imagine being so far-sighted." ”

Li Shimin glanced at Concubine Yang, nodded and said, "Xiao Ji'er is good, and her knowledge is stronger than that of Concubine Shu." ”

Concubine Yang smiled softly.

The concubine next to her was a little frustrated, and said stupidly: "In this way, our royal family still doesn't have a penny." The concubines are still looking forward to having a fat year this year, and the Internal Affairs Office owes the concubines more than half a year. ”

Li Shimin slowly stood up and said lightly: "The stinky boy said that he wanted to talk to me, and it is estimated that the time should come, don't play tricks yet, go and boil a pot of hot water first, and then get a few side dishes, and then I will accompany the stinky boy to have a drink." ”

Concubine Shu was a little reluctant, and Ai Ai said: "He is a junior, we are elders, let us cook water by ourselves, and we are afraid that we will be laughed at if we spread it." ”

Li Shimin was stunned, and the eldest grandson next to him stood up hurriedly, dragged Concubine Shu and said: "Sister, don't be verbose, listen to Your Majesty's words obediently, do you want to make money, if you want to make money, don't offend King Zhao." ”

Concubine Shu is also a smart person, her eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't help but say, "Could it be that King Zhao wants to come to discuss business?" ”

The eldest grandson glanced at her and said in a low voice: "It's not about business, it's about helping us make a lot of money." It is said that if you want to make some kind of hype, you can earn hundreds of thousands of ...... with one stroke."

Concubine Shu was overjoyed, nodded again and again: "Sister doesn't need to do anything, sister-in-law will go to cook, I am the four concubines, and I cook to entertain King Zhao." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the corners of his skirt and hurriedly ran to the back.

There were still three people left in the warm pavilion, and the three of them laughed almost at the same time, Concubine Yang's eyes flickered a few times, and she whispered: "Sister Concubine Shu is in the eyes of money." ”

The eldest grandson stretched out his hand to pat her, pretending to scold: "Don't make bad comments behind your back, Concubine Shu is also His Majesty's wife." It is also a good thing that she is dedicated to money, and she can help her children and daughters save more family business in the future. ”

Concubine Yang ate twice, and said with a wicked smile: "My sister also knows this reason, my sister just laughed at her for not looking like she was from a big family." ”

The eldest grandson glared at her and scolded: "Why is it not a big family, the family is a serious Jiannan wealthy family, but the personality is a little ridiculous, like a small family jasper." ”

Li Shimin's face twitched a few times, and he suddenly said: "She can't get involved with the little jasper, and there is no little jasper in my harem." ”

The queen and Concubine Yang looked at the emperor at the same time, and said with a gun and a stick: "Yes, it's a pity, Your Majesty wants to hug a small jasper, but in the end, all the five big and three rough ......"

The woman turned her face unreasonably, and Li Shimin suddenly rolled her eyes.

However, this was the pleasure of the boudoir, and the emperor was obviously not angry.

At this time, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, and it didn't sound like he was alone, Li Shimin slowly sat back in his chair and said lightly: "The stinky boy is here." ”

Empress Eldest Sun's eyes flickered a few times, and she said softly: "It seems that he still has Linglong, he has been doing everything with Linglong recently......"

There is something in the words.

Li Shimin glanced at the queen, and said helplessly: "Keep an eye on it, if you really can't expose it." ”

The eldest grandson and Concubine Yang nodded.

At this time, someone happened to push the door at the door, and sure enough, it was Li Yun who came with Linglong, the young girl stood at the door and looked at it, Li Yun said with a hippie smile: "Second uncle, can you come in?" ”

Li Shimin snorted and scolded with a smile: "You pushed the door open, and asked if you could come in?" ”

Li Yun smiled and walked in.

After he entered the door, he didn't procrastinate, and said directly: "Second uncle, get ready, I have already selected the hyped goods, and this time we will make a lot of money." ”

"What is it?"

Li Shimin subconsciously wanted to get up, but suddenly realized that this was unimpressive, he pretended to move his buttocks, continued to sit on the chair, and asked Li Yundao: "What are you going to sell?" How much money can I earn? ”
